Has the thought of becoming a celebrity come into your mind? email this discussion to a friend?

I am asking this question because it came into my mind. I always wanted to become a famous and successful TV Host just like Oprah. Anyway, I am only 33 and this sweet thought hasn't left my mind yet. The only thing that I need is a breakthrough. Now, where would that breakthrough come from? That is the big question....

I am not sure how it is that celebrities get their breakthroughs. Never really gave it much thought, since I am one that enjoys my privacy and have had no desire to become a celebrity. When I was kid I thought about it once, but it's just not for me.

I'll take the money a celebrity makes, just not the fame, LOL.

Lol! Yeah I could use the money celebrities make, but just not the fame that comes along with being a celebrity. I have no use for that sort of fame.

ha ha! i dreamed of becoming a singer someday!
actually, when i was 19 years old, i was one step closer to that dream, i already have a manager, but i backed out, i have stage fright,, i know i have the talent, but i just dont have the guts....













myLot reputation of 96/100. hersmart4ever (4396)   ranked 136 out of 35,325 in people  3 years ago

In my case, I do not have any stage fright and it seems like the stage was my other world. I had been acting for school plays before and I really love it. I also could sing well. Tsk tsk, if that break only came to me, I would grab it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. sharonercastillo (668)   ranked 4,755 out of 35,325 in people  3 years ago

i never regretted it, have i become a singer, i might not be married to my husband now, and i wouldn't want that

Perhaps you should sign up for a related course on hosting a show, like public speaking or something similar. Get to know people from the arena through the course, exchange ideas and experiences. If you're lucky, they might even ask you to host an event

From there you can start doing small gigs like being a M.C. for events and roadshows. Gather some experience, make a name for yourself and fatten up that resume.

When you're confident enough, go for auditions. If there aren't any, send in a video of you hosting to every producer you can pester.

I never tried all that, but I did something similar to become a web designer, figured it works in most areas.

Best of luck!

I had been doing small gigs here in our area like hosting a pageant, a contest and I am enjoying it a lot. I just hope the big break would come.

Well, didn't you start an online advice site? A lot of people have become famous through the internet. Their site gets a lot of attention, and then people want to interview them for the newspaper. A TV producer sees the news article, is intrigued, calls you up and tells you he wants to make you a star. There you go!: )

Hmmmm...sounds interesting. I hope all will result to that.

I don't wanna be a celebrity because it comes with publicity. that means there is absolutely no privacy. you have to deal with papparazzis and the media. i don't like showbiz and i don't wanna be in the spotlight. when you're a celebrity the media are more interested in digging up dirty stuffs about you. and when they can't find one, they make one to make it more interesting for the viewers. so i would rather be an ordinary person because i can have privacy whenever i want it.

Oprah did not start out being a talk show host. She had to start at the bottom just like everyone else. If you are serious about being a talk show host, I would advise you to take some Journalism courses.
I took a semester of Journalism in college. If I had taken a second semester in that major, I would have recieved a press pass. This is one way to break into the field of a talk show host. I use to want to be a Journalist, but I do not like to travel at this point at all.
When I was younger I wanted to be an actress, I still do sometimes. I also want to be a famous writer. But, more than anything, right now, I want to be a wife and mother.

Oh I want to be a celebrity mom. Thanks for the tip.

It came to a point that i want to win from a singing contest. When i watched Singing Contest on tv, how i wished i have the oppurtunity to join, most of them has this age bracket so sadly i lost the oppurtunity,if only the show came when i am young and ready, maybe i have different oppurtunity. Becoming a celebrity have a huge advantage in this world, it is a privilege, but we all know that this kind of job is never easy,you have to be strong in this kind of industry. I wanted to try atleast once in my life, but i never reinforce myself.

I have always wanted to be famous but given all the attention that stars get, I would not want to loose my privacy in that manner. I can only imagine the stories since I'm such a clutz and I'm always bumping into things or my eyes are often teary from seasonal allergies, they'd say I was a battered woman or something. I think they make a lot of money, most celebrities in the USA make more than our President does (that position only pays $200,000 a year). I'd like the money and some of the fame but in the end I'd rather have my privacy.
